In spite of us. We

>> Well, I like start
with the word of prayer
00:07:09.86\00:07:13.23
kind father in heaven. We're
so grateful for this venue that
00:07:13.23\00:07:17.53
you have provided and we ask
that your spirit will be here.
00:07:17.53\00:07:22.50
But the words that are spoken
be yours and not mine. That
00:07:22.50\00:07:25.44
hurts. Be prepared
00:07:25.44\00:07:27.81
in Jesus name. Amen.
00:07:27.81\00:07:31.71
Well, as I said earlier,
00:07:31.71\00:07:33.78
you know, the Mary American
family is somewhat at risk.
00:07:33.78\00:07:40.09
And I think we've
all probably notice that
00:07:40.09\00:07:44.23
things seem to be moving in a
00:07:44.23\00:07:47.30
direction that is
not particularly good
00:07:47.30\00:07:51.20
and what's happened
all of a sudden, too,
00:07:51.20\00:07:55.20
the American dream,
00:07:55.20\00:07:57.61
which was so important
00:07:57.61\00:08:00.94
to the whole world.
Have you ever noticed that
00:08:00.94\00:08:03.71
America is the only
country that has a dream?
00:08:03.71\00:08:08.12
There's no French train.
00:08:08.12\00:08:10.15
There's no Canadian jury.
McCain is thought they had one
00:08:10.15\00:08:12.89
too recently, but we're
the only ones who have a dream.
00:08:12.89\00:08:18.43
And people want to come here.
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.30
Even though there are a lot of
people who try to denigrate our
00:08:21.30\00:08:23.97
country and say
that's terrible place and
00:08:23.97\00:08:27.34
it's systemic Lee races
and it's unfair to everybody.
00:08:27.34\00:08:32.24
And if it was that bad, why are
all these people trying to get
00:08:32.24\00:08:34.64
in here?
00:08:34.64\00:08:36.68
And when they got here, when
they call on their family and
00:08:36.68\00:08:39.08
friends say, don't come
here. This is a horrible place.
00:08:39.08\00:08:42.38
That's not what's happening.
00:08:42.38\00:08:45.22
And really the question this,
00:08:45.22\00:08:47.62
how do we maintain that
00:08:47.62\00:08:51.83
fund them in a
fundamental building block
00:08:51.83\00:08:54.96
of a great nation.
00:08:54.96\00:08:57.13
It's the family.
00:08:57.13\00:08:59.67
And what does the Bible say
00:08:59.67\00:09:02.40
about the family
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.44
and how important to this?
00:09:04.44\00:09:06.44
Think about it and genesis, too,
00:09:06.44\00:09:10.38
for the Lord says
00:09:10.38\00:09:12.75
it is not good.
00:09:12.75\00:09:15.08
That man should be a long
00:09:15.08\00:09:18.32
and I will make
for him to help me.
00:09:18.32\00:09:24.43
He took a bone
from Adam's rib years
00:09:24.43\00:09:29.50
and fashion Eve.
00:09:29.50\00:09:31.37
Now you notice he didn't take
00:09:31.37\00:09:34.37
part of this call.
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.71
So the shoe be the
head leaving him around
00:09:36.71\00:09:40.11
and he didn't take part of
the foot so that he'd be walking
00:09:40.11\00:09:43.18
all over her. He took a rigged,
signifying somebody who would
00:09:43.18\00:09:48.32
be by his side
00:09:48.32\00:09:50.55
as a helpmate. And that's what
helped me. There's an equal who
00:09:50.55\00:09:55.26
helps you to
accomplish your goals.
00:09:55.26\00:09:58.29
So got set the
standard for the family.
00:09:58.29\00:10:02.63
And it says
00:10:02.63\00:10:04.33
and that chapter also
00:10:04.33\00:10:07.04
male and female.
00:10:07.04\00:10:10.07
He created
00:10:10.07\00:10:11.84
don't say anything
about anything else
00:10:11.84\00:10:14.44
and the male and a female.
00:10:14.44\00:10:17.58
And there is actually a
scientific reason for that
00:10:17.58\00:10:23.25
because the last I checked,
those were the only combination
00:10:23.25\00:10:27.62
capable of producing offspring.
00:10:27.62\00:10:31.03
And,
00:10:31.03\00:10:33.16
you know, it's it's
interesting that there's so much
00:10:33.16\00:10:36.46
argumentation
about that these days.
00:10:36.46\00:10:40.04
You know, what is a woman
00:10:40.04\00:10:42.80
we knew where the woman was
for thousands of years. All of a
00:10:42.80\00:10:45.37
sudden we don't
know where that woman is.
00:10:45.37\00:10:50.18
Her crazy is that.
00:10:50.18\00:10:55.05
But at any rate,
00:10:55.05\00:10:57.35
there does seem to be a
war on the traditional family.
00:10:57.35\00:11:02.82
And what is interesting is
00:11:02.82\00:11:06.16
we see if I can see
00:11:06.16\00:11:07.86
find my telephone here, you
know, the truly needy states
00:11:07.86\00:11:11.73
because you can carry
everything around with you and
00:11:11.73\00:11:15.17
you're from
00:11:15.17\00:11:17.07
and
00:11:17.07\00:11:18.74
she can do that
00:11:18.74\00:11:20.48
to the congressional record
00:11:20.48\00:11:23.88
from January. The 10th 1963
00:11:23.88\00:11:30.75
read into the
congressional record
00:11:30.75\00:11:33.62
where the goals
00:11:33.62\00:11:35.76
for Communist and
United States of America.
00:11:35.76\00:11:40.93
There are 45 of them.
00:11:40.93\00:11:45.03
No. Let me read
00:11:45.03\00:11:46.80
a few of them.
00:11:46.80\00:11:49.10
Goal number 17,

and current
communist propaganda.
00:11:59.25\00:12:02.78
Soften the curriculum,

00:14:14.45\00:14:18.95
discredit the
family as an institution,
00:14:18.95\00:14:23.39
encourage
promiscuity and easy divorce
00:14:23.39\00:14:28.20
emphasize the need to raise
children away from the negative
00:14:28.20\00:14:32.90
influence of parents.
The Tribune prejudices mental
00:14:32.90\00:14:37.71
blocks and returning
of children to suppressive
00:14:37.71\00:14:42.14
influence of parents.
00:14:42.14\00:14:45.68
And that interesting that
so many of those are the things
00:14:45.68\00:14:48.92
that are going on in
our society right now.
00:14:48.92\00:14:53.05
I would have to say
00:14:53.05\00:14:55.62
those who are trying to
fundamentally change us into
00:14:55.62\00:14:59.09
something else
00:14:59.09\00:15:01.03
have found the key,
00:15:01.03\00:15:03.47
but attacking our faith
00:15:03.47\00:15:06.57
and our families
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.67
because they recognize that the
country was much too strong to
00:15:08.67\00:15:12.04
bring down militarily.
00:15:12.04\00:15:15.98
But it could be brought down
from inside by attacking the
00:15:15.98\00:15:19.71
pillars of strength
00:15:19.71\00:15:22.82
and
00:15:22.82\00:15:25.72
what you probably noticed
00:15:25.72\00:15:28.12
is 50 years ago,
maybe 60 years ago
00:15:28.12\00:15:32.33
when the family was
portrayed on television,
00:15:32.33\00:15:36.16
they were strong, traditional
nuclear families, a mother,
00:15:36.16\00:15:39.50
a father,
00:15:39.50\00:15:41.24
children.
00:15:41.24\00:15:42.97
You had a strong
founders like Father knows best.
00:15:42.97\00:15:48.01
And then it started to morph.
00:15:48.01\00:15:50.45
And then you've got the
bumbling idiot, dad, you know,
00:15:50.45\00:15:54.22
like how funding
those kind of things.
00:15:54.22\00:15:58.25
And it got to the point where
00:15:58.25\00:16:00.59
the man was really
kind of peripheral.
00:16:00.59\00:16:04.69
He didn't really need him.
00:16:04.69\00:16:07.86
And look what
has begun to happen.
00:16:07.86\00:16:11.97
The family
structure subsequently,
00:16:11.97\00:16:15.10
I mean, in the 70's
00:16:15.10\00:16:19.44
you have 40%
00:16:19.44\00:16:22.54
nuclear families.
00:16:22.54\00:16:24.91
Now it's 18%
00:16:24.91\00:16:29.58
of all the families out there.
00:16:29.58\00:16:32.65
And 40%
00:16:32.65\00:16:34.99
of babies in this country
are born out of went park
00:16:34.99\00:16:39.33
have been lots of studies
to show that children who are
00:16:39.33\00:16:44.00
raised and single-family
single parent families do not do
00:16:44.00\00:16:48.87
anywhere near as well
academically and in other ways
00:16:48.87\00:16:53.91
now there are exceptions.
00:16:53.91\00:16:56.11
You're looking at one of them.
00:16:56.11\00:16:58.61
But
00:16:58.61\00:17:00.92
I will have to tell
you that it wasn't fun
00:17:00.92\00:17:04.69
growing up in a single parent
00:17:04.69\00:17:07.46
because usually have a lot
less in the way of resources.
00:17:07.46\00:17:12.86
And you always feel, you know,
you're not quite as good as
00:17:12.86\00:17:16.56
everybody else
are always kind of
00:17:16.56\00:17:19.03
looking through the window at
everybody else and wishing you
00:17:19.03\00:17:23.51
were inside.
00:17:23.51\00:17:28.08
You think about all the problems
00:17:28.08\00:17:30.88
that you see in children
today. They're multiplied
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.52
significantly
00:17:33.52\00:17:35.32
and those homes
with single parents.
00:17:35.32\00:17:39.35
But we're having
a real problem with
00:17:39.35\00:17:42.49
and our society today,
00:17:44.99\00:17:48.16
feelings of inadequacy
00:17:48.16\00:17:51.10
being attacked,
00:17:51.10\00:17:53.84
saying that
they're demonstrating toxic
00:17:53.84\00:17:56.34
masculinity,
00:17:56.34\00:17:58.64
whatever the U.S.
00:17:58.64\00:18:00.78
it's being defined as
00:18:03.35\00:18:06.82
negative characteristics of men,
00:18:06.82\00:18:11.35
there's nothing
wrong with masculinity
00:18:11.35\00:18:13.96
and I think we need to define
it the right way. Masculine men
00:18:13.96\00:18:18.59
are men who
accept responsibility,
00:18:18.59\00:18:21.83
who take care of their family,
who love their wives, who are
00:18:21.83\00:18:25.97
the appropriate
models for their children
00:18:25.97\00:18:30.41
has nothing to do with
who you can beat up poor.
00:18:30.41\00:18:34.34
You know what rock
tissue can cause in the bar.
00:18:34.34\00:18:38.31
You know, that's just stupid.
And that has nothing to do it
00:18:38.31\00:18:40.82
masculinity.
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.88
And I think we have to
start being more aggressive in
00:18:42.88\00:18:46.92
opposing those things.
00:18:46.92\00:18:49.72
But the Bible talks about
the reasons for marriage and the
00:18:49.72\00:18:53.36
talks
00:18:53.36\00:18:54.93
about the fact that
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.90
in the Christian home
00:18:57.90\00:19:00.70
men should love their wives.
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.87
Wives should submit to
their husbands and the Lord.
00:19:03.87\00:19:08.04
And that's the key part there.
00:19:08.04\00:19:10.38
You know, if your
husband is us Munsch
00:19:10.38\00:19:14.62
haha.
00:19:14.62\00:19:18.02
But but it also says that
00:19:18.02\00:19:21.46
if you're still kind to your
husband, even though he's my
00:19:21.46\00:19:25.39
age
00:19:25.39\00:19:26.49
and you still
00:19:26.49\00:19:28.33
help to smooth things over,
you may win him over and he may
00:19:28.33\00:19:33.13
soon become a very
responsible individual.
00:19:33.13\00:19:37.14
So I think the wives can
play a tremendous role that way.
00:19:37.14\00:19:42.34
But I don't want to
give short script, too,
00:19:42.34\00:19:46.55
the single parents
00:19:46.55\00:19:48.55
because we have a lot of them
now where we have more of them
00:19:48.55\00:19:51.42
than the other way around.
00:19:51.42\00:19:53.96
And
00:19:53.96\00:19:55.49
in many cases, it's not
necessarily even their fault.
00:19:55.49\00:20:00.60
You know, my mother got married
when she was 13 years trying to
00:20:00.60\00:20:04.13
escape dire poverty in.
00:20:04.13\00:20:06.90
She didn't know that
00:20:06.90\00:20:08.87
her husband was already married,
00:20:08.87\00:20:12.34
have another family.
00:20:12.34\00:20:14.58
I was telling that story,
a graduation at University of
00:20:14.58\00:20:17.88
Utah. Nobody
thought it was that strange.
00:20:17.88\00:20:21.12
But
00:20:26.32\00:20:28.49
but she thought that was
very, very strange. And in fact,
00:20:28.49\00:20:33.40
it was
00:20:33.40\00:20:34.76
sure it's change.
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.83
And she found herself trying
to raise 2 young sons all by
00:20:36.83\00:20:42.10
herself
00:20:42.10\00:20:45.34
to the interesting
thing about my mother
00:20:45.34\00:20:48.34
as she absolutely
refused to be a victim
00:20:48.34\00:20:53.28
and she refused to
let us be victims, too.
00:20:53.28\00:20:57.89
She never made excuses.
And if we ever made an excuse,
00:20:57.89\00:21:03.12
this was the point
that came out of her mouth.
00:21:03.12\00:21:06.93
If things go bad for you
and make you a bit ashamed often
00:21:06.93\00:21:11.43
you will find out you
have yourself to blame
00:21:11.43\00:21:15.07
swiftly. We ran to mischief
and then the bad look came.
00:21:15.07\00:21:20.41
Why do we for others?
We have ourselves to blame.
00:21:20.41\00:21:24.81
Whatever happens to us. Here
is what we say. Had it not been
00:21:24.81\00:21:29.78
for so. And so things
would have gone that way.
00:21:29.78\00:21:33.52
And if you're short of
friends out to you what to do,
00:21:33.52\00:21:37.86
make an examination, you'll
find the fault saying you,
00:21:37.86\00:21:42.36
you are the captain of your
ship. So agree with the same.
00:21:42.36\00:21:47.04
If you travel down work,
you have yourself to blame
00:21:47.04\00:21:52.27
and she knew that point by
heart. And we knew that if we
00:21:52.27\00:21:55.51
made an excuse that was
coming out of her mouth. Haha.
00:21:55.51\00:22:00.75
So guess what?
00:22:00.75\00:22:02.68
We stop making excuses.
00:22:02.68\00:22:05.62
And isn't that
00:22:05.62\00:22:07.29
what parents are supposed to do?
00:22:07.29\00:22:09.89
Provide the
right kind of guidance,
00:22:09.89\00:22:12.99
the right kind of
example for the children.
00:22:12.99\00:22:17.53
And that's why one of the goals
00:22:17.53\00:22:21.34
of those who want
to fundamentally change
00:22:21.34\00:22:24.87
our nation
00:22:24.87\00:22:26.78
is to minimize the
influence of parents
00:22:26.78\00:22:31.41
and allow others
00:22:31.41\00:22:34.02
to tell the
children who they are
00:22:34.02\00:22:37.52
and what they're supposed to
be doing. And that is a major,
00:22:37.52\00:22:41.46
major problem.
00:22:41.46\00:22:43.46
You know, and a lot
of the school systems
00:22:43.46\00:22:47.30
you have
00:22:47.30\00:22:49.03
teachers and counselors
00:22:49.03\00:22:52.63
talking to the children about
who they really and saying,
00:22:52.63\00:22:56.77
don't tell your parents,
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.34
don't get your parents involved.
00:22:59.34\00:23:02.24
Your parents love you. And
they mean, well, but they don't
00:23:02.24\00:23:05.08
really know what they're doing
00:23:05.08\00:23:07.42
and we know what we're doing.
00:23:07.42\00:23:12.42
And you think about how
they are impacting some of the
00:23:12.42\00:23:16.39
younger children in particular.
00:23:16.39\00:23:19.56
Children are naturally very,
very curious. We do know that.
00:23:23.30\00:23:30.24
But children are
also very suggestible.
00:23:30.24\00:23:37.81
It's very easy to
go to a child and say
00:23:37.81\00:23:42.48
to think you're
really a corrupt.
00:23:42.48\00:23:46.79
Do you think maybe your boy
00:23:46.79\00:23:49.76
say that to a boy?
00:23:49.76\00:23:51.96
Don't you
sometimes feel this way?
00:23:51.96\00:23:56.63
And
00:23:56.63\00:23:57.77
did you ever try putting
your mothers high heels on?
00:23:57.77\00:24:03.77
But most boys try that because
you're curious, the boys,
00:24:03.77\00:24:07.01
they want to know what it feels
like. Not because they want to
00:24:07.01\00:24:09.58
be a woman.
00:24:09.58\00:24:12.01
Most little girls.
00:24:12.01\00:24:13.88
You know, they put there dance
to build on. It doesn't mean
00:24:13.88\00:24:17.42
they want to be a boy. It means
they are curious. They want to
00:24:17.42\00:24:21.69
know what it's like. But
if then you have someone come
00:24:21.69\00:24:24.59
along behind him
and say, you see,
00:24:24.59\00:24:27.13
I told you are really a boy
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.50
and there's some things we
can do. We can give you some
00:24:30.50\00:24:33.60
hormones and
00:24:33.60\00:24:35.67
we can change you so
that you can be fulfilled.
00:24:35.67\00:24:39.77
Now, the reason you know
that that's not legitimate.
00:24:39.77\00:24:44.01
Well, you have to do is look at
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.41
the rates of mental illness
and the suicides and attempted
00:24:46.41\00:24:50.75
suicides and people
who go down that route.
00:24:50.75\00:24:54.62
And that will tell you
00:24:54.62\00:24:57.49
really has the best
interests of the child at heart.
00:24:57.49\00:25:02.06
And that is the parent.
00:25:02.06\00:25:04.47
And that's the reason that
there's been an explosion since
00:25:04.47\00:25:07.80
2020
00:25:07.80\00:25:09.24
of homes,
schools to have doubled
00:25:09.24\00:25:12.01
and that time
00:25:12.01\00:25:13.51
long, long lines, kids for
pro keo faith-based schools
00:25:13.51\00:25:21.28
and
00:25:21.28\00:25:22.82
doesn't mean that people
shouldn't get involved and
00:25:22.82\00:25:25.85
helping to change
00:25:25.85\00:25:27.62
the public school system.
00:25:27.62\00:25:29.69
We all have a stake and we
can't just sort of turn our
00:25:29.69\00:25:32.76
backs
00:25:32.76\00:25:34.20
on the children and our
society because their predators
00:25:34.20\00:25:39.30
who want
00:25:39.30\00:25:40.80
our children
00:25:40.80\00:25:43.14
now, what does the Bible say
00:25:43.14\00:25:45.41
in Proverbs? 22
6 train up a child
00:25:45.41\00:25:49.21
and the way he should go with
his own will not depart from
00:25:49.21\00:25:52.38
that.
00:25:52.38\00:25:53.78
That is such a vital fronts.
The most important thing that
00:25:53.78\00:25:57.25
you can do is change
your children the right way.
00:25:57.25\00:26:02.66
Those who want to fundamentally
change just know that too.
00:26:02.66\00:26:06.66
It was Wladimir Lennon,
00:26:06.66\00:26:10.03
one of the fathers of Marxism
00:26:10.03\00:26:13.47
who said give me your children
to teach for 4 years and the
00:26:13.47\00:26:16.81
sea that I so will
never be a prudent.
00:26:16.81\00:26:21.18
That's why they're so anxious
to get in and get the children
00:26:21.18\00:26:25.68
and the very young age.
I've seen some of the books.
00:26:25.68\00:26:30.19
The children read
some of the PRE K schools.
00:26:30.19\00:26:34.86
They have a book about war
00:26:34.86\00:26:38.03
and how these worms
00:26:38.03\00:26:40.30
as they grew up
00:26:40.30\00:26:42.30
can become
either male or female.
00:26:42.30\00:26:46.17
Now, why would you be
teaching that to a preschooler?
00:26:46.17\00:26:50.27
What are you trying
to prepare them for?
00:26:50.27\00:26:54.24
And then some of the books
in the elementary schools that
00:26:54.24\00:26:57.75
I've seen,
00:26:57.75\00:26:59.61
it's this is actually very hard
to look at him. I mean, there's
00:26:59.61\00:27:03.45
frank
pornography and these books
00:27:03.45\00:27:06.65
showing children, sexual
positioning and things of this
00:27:06.65\00:27:10.79
nature.
00:27:10.79\00:27:13.93
You saw one of those goals
00:27:13.93\00:27:17.30
was to sexualize children,
00:27:17.30\00:27:21.00
promiscuity,
00:27:21.00\00:27:22.94
all kinds of degenerate things
in front of our troops. Why
00:27:22.94\00:27:26.37
would anybody be
trying to do that
00:27:26.37\00:27:29.24
unless they are trying
to fertilize the ground
00:27:29.24\00:27:34.02
for something else?
00:27:34.02\00:27:38.22
As you can see, it's succeeding.
00:27:38.22\00:27:41.36
It's working very
rapidly as we go downhill.
00:27:41.36\00:27:45.79
The question is, is
it possible to stop it?
00:27:45.79\00:27:50.57
You know, I had a
terrible temper as a
00:27:50.57\00:27:54.17
child.
00:27:54.17\00:27:55.77
And when I was
14, I stab someone.
00:27:55.77\00:28:01.34
My mother,
00:28:01.34\00:28:03.88
who is the wisest person that
I've ever known, even though
00:28:03.88\00:28:07.18
she only had a less
than a 3rd grade education.
00:28:07.18\00:28:11.29
She knew some
people who lived on a farm.
00:28:11.29\00:28:14.62
So that summer
00:28:14.62\00:28:16.29
she sent my brother
00:28:16.29\00:28:18.96
and me to live on the farm
00:28:18.96\00:28:21.60
with them.
00:28:21.60\00:28:23.23
And I could tell you
00:28:23.23\00:28:25.50
that was a real
eye-opening experience
00:28:25.50\00:28:28.80
getting up at 5 in the morning.
00:28:28.80\00:28:31.54
Milking cows
00:28:31.54\00:28:34.24
picking corn and beans.
Chopping wood. Going to the
00:28:34.24\00:28:39.61
sawmill. Learning how to drive
a tractor, cutting the lawn,
00:28:39.61\00:28:44.15
building the hay.
00:28:44.15\00:28:47.16
And boy, did you
work up an appetite
00:28:47.16\00:28:50.59
and that food was so good that
fresh food out of the ground.
00:28:50.59\00:28:54.66
That was good stuff.
00:28:54.66\00:28:57.73
And you don't want to watch TV.
You are just so tired. You want
00:28:57.73\00:29:00.40
to go to bed and go to sleep so
she could up the next morning.
00:29:00.40\00:29:04.44
But
00:29:04.44\00:29:06.07
it was sort of a a wake-up
call. I know the reason that
00:29:06.07\00:29:10.98
she did in retrospect,
00:29:10.98\00:29:13.72
that's because she wanted us
00:29:13.72\00:29:16.48
to see what hard
work was all about.
00:29:16.48\00:29:19.92
And that may be then we would
study harder in school. So you
00:29:19.92\00:29:24.33
have to work that. Our haha.
00:29:24.33\00:29:29.43
I actually grew to really love
farming after that and loving
00:29:29.43\00:29:34.87
the country in the
piece in the song, too.
00:29:34.87\00:29:38.34
And,
00:29:38.34\00:29:40.08
you know, we have a farm
00:29:40.08\00:29:43.31
spend much time there. But
sometimes we love to go there.
00:29:43.31\00:29:47.05
Just watched the beautiful
amber waves of grain is a
00:29:47.05\00:29:52.05
because the wind
is blowing through.
00:29:52.05\00:29:55.16
And my mother used to plant
some of the most incredible
00:29:55.16\00:29:58.53
food on that farm
00:29:58.53\00:30:00.63
and what a difference it made.
00:30:00.63\00:30:03.77
One of the other things that
is having an impact on family
00:30:03.77\00:30:07.17
formation
00:30:07.17\00:30:09.30
as women's empowerment
00:30:09.30\00:30:13.54
and the women's movement.
00:30:13.54\00:30:16.78
Now, do all the women
started throwing tomatoes at me
00:30:16.78\00:30:23.59
in 1963, it was Betty Friedan am
00:30:23.59\00:30:28.69
who wrote a book
called The Feminine Mystique,
00:30:28.69\00:30:34.10
created a lot of discontent
00:30:34.10\00:30:37.73
among women
00:30:37.73\00:30:39.83
who previously were pretty happy
00:30:39.83\00:30:42.77
with the things they were
doing. It was OK, you know,
00:30:42.77\00:30:46.01
taking care of the family in
00:30:46.01\00:30:48.41
being the primary, one who
raise the kids. But all of a
00:30:48.41\00:30:51.88
sudden
00:30:51.88\00:30:53.68
that was menial work
00:30:53.68\00:30:56.65
and those were
second-class citizens
00:30:56.65\00:31:00.06
and they weren't
nearly as important
00:31:00.06\00:31:02.52
as the women
00:31:02.52\00:31:04.33
who are out
00:31:04.33\00:31:05.89
and the workforce
00:31:05.89\00:31:07.83
and doing things.
00:31:07.83\00:31:09.70
Well, of course, if you have
both male and female parent out
00:31:09.70\00:31:15.54
in the workforce
00:31:15.54\00:31:17.37
who's taking care of the KENS,
00:31:17.37\00:31:20.38
the most important
thing that we have to do
00:31:20.38\00:31:25.11
so that again,
00:31:25.11\00:31:26.98
to be a problem,
00:31:26.98\00:31:29.95
it's not as much of a problem
00:31:29.95\00:31:33.72
if both parents
00:31:33.72\00:31:36.36
recognize how important taking
the kids to taking care of the
00:31:36.36\00:31:40.60
kids are and
actually sit down and plan
00:31:40.60\00:31:44.83
how it's going to be done.
00:31:44.83\00:31:47.34
One of the things that's
going on now is remote work
00:31:47.34\00:31:52.67
and a lot of people can do
just as much at home with their
00:31:52.67\00:31:56.04
computer as they
could to an office,
00:31:56.04\00:32:00.25
but being able to work things
out together and with employers
00:32:00.25\00:32:05.49
is something
that's very important.
00:32:05.49\00:32:08.52
We're never going to go back.
00:32:08.52\00:32:10.86
I don't think
00:32:10.86\00:32:12.89
to just one parent
00:32:12.89\00:32:15.86
working another one, staying
home, taking care of the kids.
00:32:15.86\00:32:20.37
People will do that. But most
we're not going to it because
00:32:20.37\00:32:25.41
we've gotten so used
00:32:25.41\00:32:27.71
to having the extra car
00:32:27.71\00:32:30.41
and the bigger
house and these things.
00:32:30.41\00:32:33.95
And,
00:32:33.95\00:32:35.78
you know, I'm not gonna lie.
00:32:35.78\00:32:38.42
That's a sacrifice
00:32:38.42\00:32:41.02
to take care of the kids
00:32:41.02\00:32:44.43
do. Keep in mind,
00:32:44.43\00:32:46.86
the kids are only there for
00:32:46.86\00:32:49.03
4
00:32:49.03\00:32:50.50
part of your life.
00:32:50.50\00:32:53.07
They come and they go
pretty quickly collect crank up.
00:32:53.07\00:32:57.01
And so it's not something you
have to commit to for the whole
00:32:57.01\00:33:00.64
time.
00:33:00.64\00:33:03.88
How worthwhile as it. And I
give my wife a lot of credit
00:33:03.88\00:33:09.25
because, you know, she had a
bachelor's degree from Yale and
00:33:09.25\00:33:13.36
a master's degree
from Johns Hopkins.
00:33:13.36\00:33:16.62
It's a very accomplished person
00:33:16.62\00:33:19.23
and said
00:33:19.23\00:33:21.06
the most important thing is for
me to stay home and take care
00:33:21.06\00:33:24.30
of the kids.
00:33:24.30\00:33:25.97
And, you know, all 3 sons
00:33:25.97\00:33:29.17
turned out to be
terrifically successful.
00:33:29.17\00:33:32.34
And I think a lot of
that had to do with her.
00:33:32.34\00:33:36.54
But also as a dad,
00:33:36.54\00:33:40.08
I knew how important that
was to be there for the kids
00:33:40.08\00:33:43.32
because
00:33:43.32\00:33:44.45
if you look at
people who are incarcerated
00:33:44.45\00:33:47.62
and the penal system,
00:33:47.62\00:33:49.99
80% of them come
from fatherless homes
00:33:49.99\00:33:54.73
that fathers and sons
is so vitally important.
00:33:54.73\00:33:59.00
And so many kids
grew up without a father
00:33:59.00\00:34:02.27
without a real authority figure
00:34:02.27\00:34:05.44
and there
00:34:05.44\00:34:08.08
and the first person they
run into with great authority as
00:34:08.08\00:34:12.55
police
00:34:12.55\00:34:14.52
or someone in their
neighborhood is better than
00:34:14.52\00:34:16.65
they are.
00:34:16.65\00:34:17.92
And either case
00:34:17.92\00:34:19.52
it frequently
doesn't work out well
00:34:19.52\00:34:22.72
and they may end up in
the penal system or debt.
00:34:22.72\00:34:27.46
It's a real problem
00:34:27.46\00:34:29.90
and a lot of it can be solved
by having a father to be there.
00:34:29.90\00:34:36.60
But it's not happening to a
large degree because we have
00:34:36.60\00:34:41.14
kept minimizing
the role of fathers.
00:34:41.14\00:34:45.58
You may have been to a
college graduation recently.
00:34:45.58\00:34:50.59
If you have you
probably know this
00:34:50.59\00:34:53.99
that the vast majority
of graduates are women,
00:34:53.99\00:34:58.16
60% of college
graduates now our feet. Now
00:34:58.16\00:35:03.90
what's happening to the
guys? Where are they going?
00:35:03.90\00:35:08.34
What are they doing?
00:35:08.34\00:35:10.41
It's problematic.
00:35:10.41\00:35:12.74
And it's one of the reasons
that a lot of these young
00:35:12.74\00:35:15.48
professional women
00:35:15.48\00:35:18.21
instead of looking for a husband
00:35:18.21\00:35:22.15
just looking for
00:35:22.15\00:35:24.19
a s**** donor
00:35:24.19\00:35:26.72
so that they can have children
00:35:26.72\00:35:29.62
because then they know
they have somebody who will love
00:35:29.62\00:35:32.53
them,
00:35:32.53\00:35:33.86
somebody who will cherish them
00:35:33.86\00:35:37.13
and that's what they
want. But that's not taking into
00:35:37.13\00:35:40.14
account the needs of the child.
00:35:40.14\00:35:43.47
It's actually
being somewhat selfish.
00:35:43.47\00:35:47.48
And we need to
really begin to emphasize
00:35:47.48\00:35:51.18
what the Lord really want to.
00:35:51.18\00:35:54.12
It's much easier for women
to work outside the home now
00:35:54.12\00:35:57.15
because,
00:35:57.15\00:35:58.59
you know, 50, 60 years ago,
00:35:58.59\00:36:01.12
a lot of the higher paying jobs
00:36:01.12\00:36:04.63
naturally want to men because
00:36:04.63\00:36:08.23
they require a lot
of physical strength.
00:36:08.23\00:36:11.70
That's not the case anymore.
The majority of jobs now to not
00:36:11.70\00:36:15.80
require a lot of
physical strength.
00:36:15.80\00:36:19.01
Now, interestingly enough,
00:36:19.01\00:36:21.84
over the last 30 years
study that was reported and the
00:36:21.84\00:36:26.82
Washington Post
a couple years ago
00:36:26.82\00:36:31.15
looking at grip strength
00:36:31.15\00:36:34.32
of men
00:36:34.32\00:36:36.39
has gone from 117 times
00:36:36.39\00:36:40.46
to 98 times
00:36:40.46\00:36:44.07
for women.
00:36:44.07\00:36:45.73
It has stayed
00:36:45.73\00:36:47.74
98 pounds over that whole time.
00:36:47.74\00:36:51.17
So
00:36:51.17\00:36:52.61
young women and young men
have about same Christian now,
00:36:52.61\00:36:56.91
but they don't you don't need
a lot of grip strength to hold
00:36:56.91\00:36:59.88
the ink pen. Other
pushed keys on a keypad at
00:36:59.88\00:37:03.45
and what has happened as men
because they're not involved in
00:37:03.45\00:37:07.99
a lot of the
strenuous activities.
00:37:07.99\00:37:10.43
You know, they don't develop
the same kind of strength,
00:37:10.43\00:37:13.40
but you don't really
need the same kind of stir.
00:37:13.40\00:37:17.87
It's a different
world that we live in now.
00:37:17.87\00:37:21.17
So it still is important to
remember how those changes are
00:37:21.17\00:37:26.07
affecting people.
00:37:26.07\00:37:28.18
And then the whole concept
00:37:28.18\00:37:30.55
of no-fault divorce.
00:37:30.55\00:37:34.12
You notice that
that was one of the
00:37:34.12\00:37:36.42
Khan Yunis goals that I read it,
00:37:36.42\00:37:39.12
making the force quick and easy.
00:37:39.12\00:37:43.59
No fall
00:37:43.59\00:37:45.19
has had a
tremendously devastating effect
00:37:45.19\00:37:49.03
on our society
00:37:49.03\00:37:50.90
and our people.
00:37:50.90\00:37:53.54
And
00:37:53.54\00:37:55.44
you're not supposed to
talk about that because it's not
00:37:55.44\00:37:58.34
politically correct.
00:37:58.34\00:38:00.24
You know, everybody is and 2,
00:38:00.24\00:38:02.91
what's good for me?
00:38:02.91\00:38:04.95
What feels right for me?
00:38:04.95\00:38:08.52
Well, you know, that's not
an added to that is conducive
00:38:08.52\00:38:12.25
to a strong nuclear family.
00:38:12.25\00:38:15.62
It should be
00:38:15.62\00:38:17.13
what's in it for us.
00:38:17.13\00:38:19.66
How does it strengthen us as
a unit as a family? How does it
00:38:19.66\00:38:25.33
make it better for us to be
able to pass on our values to
00:38:25.33\00:38:30.11
our children?
00:38:30.11\00:38:31.71
So any time to
we become selfish,
00:38:31.71\00:38:35.21
we contribute to the
breakdown of what's happening
00:38:35.21\00:38:39.51
with our families.
00:38:39.51\00:38:42.05
And it's so important
to recognize when you get
00:38:42.05\00:38:44.92
divorced,
00:38:44.92\00:38:47.66
it's devastating for the kids.
00:38:47.66\00:38:51.29
I'm sure. So if you've been
through it, I mean, I certainly
00:38:51.29\00:38:54.73
went through it.
00:38:54.73\00:38:56.33
I can't tell you how
devastating that was.
00:38:56.33\00:39:01.30
And as a little 8 year-old
00:39:01.30\00:39:05.47
had learned how to pray.
00:39:05.47\00:39:07.71
And I prayed that every single
night, Lord, please help them
00:39:07.71\00:39:13.95
to get back together.
00:39:13.95\00:39:16.65
And I believe the harder I pray
that somehow it would happen,
00:39:16.65\00:39:21.59
but it never did it.
00:39:21.59\00:39:24.59
But of course, as a
youngster, I didn't know
00:39:24.59\00:39:28.23
the reasons that my
parents got divorced.
00:39:28.23\00:39:31.30
I didn't know about the
big tree and the bigamy that my
00:39:31.30\00:39:35.80
father was involved in.
00:39:35.80\00:39:39.97
But, you know, sometimes lord
doesn't answer the prayer that
00:39:39.97\00:39:43.48
we ask him for,
00:39:43.48\00:39:46.28
because obviously he knows the
in from the beginning. He knows
00:39:46.28\00:39:49.78
what's better for us.
00:39:49.78\00:39:51.95
And, you know, my father was
00:39:51.95\00:39:54.42
involved in
00:39:54.42\00:39:56.16
gambling
00:39:56.16\00:39:57.99
and drugs
00:39:57.99\00:40:00.33
and women.
00:40:00.33\00:40:04.03
Women are okay.
But you only need one.
00:40:04.03\00:40:08.27
You know, he wasn't involved in
things that would not have been
00:40:08.27\00:40:12.54
conducive to me
becoming a successful doubt.
00:40:12.54\00:40:18.31
In retrospect, I was very glad
that got an answer, that prayer
00:40:18.31\00:40:22.65
and the average case
00:40:22.65\00:40:25.75
that child
00:40:25.75\00:40:27.42
loves both of their parents.
00:40:27.42\00:40:30.23
And the worst thing you can do
00:40:30.23\00:40:32.93
is to tear apart
00:40:32.93\00:40:34.73
that family
00:40:34.73\00:40:36.73
and it's
00:40:36.73\00:40:38.67
really worthwhile thinking about
00:40:38.67\00:40:41.57
how do you
00:40:41.57\00:40:42.77
mend the fences to keep
things running smoothly here to
00:40:42.77\00:40:46.54
recognize when 2
people get married,
00:40:46.54\00:40:49.71
they come from different
environments. They come from
00:40:49.71\00:40:52.71
different settings.
00:40:52.71\00:40:54.42
So there's going to be friction.
00:40:54.42\00:40:56.79
The slight rubbing 2
pieces, the same paper together.
00:40:56.79\00:41:02.26
If you keep
revenue, they gets move.
00:41:02.26\00:41:05.76
You just have to stay in
there. Long enough for them gets
00:41:05.76\00:41:08.30
moved.
00:41:08.30\00:41:09.66
And, you know, our society
today doesn't emphasize that.
00:41:09.66\00:41:14.30
They said if things are working
out the way that you thought
00:41:14.30\00:41:18.04
they would
00:41:18.04\00:41:19.91
threw him out
and get someone else
00:41:19.91\00:41:23.91
and that's problematic.
00:41:23.91\00:41:25.81
The statistics show us
00:41:25.81\00:41:28.18
that by the age of 16,
00:41:28.18\00:41:32.82
most young
people in this country,
00:41:32.82\00:41:36.29
we'll have lived in
either a single parent home
00:41:36.29\00:41:40.06
or a home with their
parent and a co happened
00:41:40.06\00:41:45.10
who is not
married to their parent.
00:41:45.10\00:41:49.74
That's the message that
is being sent to our children
00:41:49.74\00:41:55.88
about what family
life is supposed to be.
00:41:55.88\00:41:59.81
And that's why we're seeing
it deteriorating so quickly and
00:41:59.81\00:42:03.72
our society today
00:42:03.72\00:42:06.35
and we can accept it.
00:42:06.35\00:42:08.99
We've been can begin to find it.
00:42:08.99\00:42:11.89
We can begin to recognize that
there are those who are trying
00:42:11.89\00:42:16.80
to destroy
00:42:16.80\00:42:18.73
America as we know it.
00:42:18.73\00:42:21.40
And these are the
methods that they are using.
00:42:21.40\00:42:25.07
And I think if you know
your and the man, you know what
00:42:25.07\00:42:28.41
you're doing, you
at least have a chance
00:42:28.41\00:42:31.81
to see what's going on. You at
least have a chance to begin to
00:42:31.81\00:42:35.25
try to fix
00:42:35.25\00:42:36.95
what's happening.
00:42:36.95\00:42:39.55
You know, when it comes to
00:42:39.55\00:42:42.36
the issue of
00:42:42.36\00:42:45.39
gays,
00:42:45.39\00:42:47.86
what does the
Bible say about that?
00:42:47.86\00:42:51.00
Well, it's actually very it
was pretty straightforward. Says
00:42:51.00\00:42:55.47
Obama nation. The
Lord does not like it,
00:42:55.47\00:42:59.27
but it doesn't say that
the Lord doesn't love them.
00:42:59.27\00:43:03.04
And the Lord loves everybody
00:43:03.04\00:43:06.61
and he died for everybody,
00:43:06.61\00:43:10.19
including, you know,
everybody in the LGBTQ,
00:43:10.19\00:43:17.73
whatever, whatever letter you
want to ascribe to it, he loves
00:43:17.73\00:43:22.60
them and he paid the
ultimate price for that.
00:43:22.60\00:43:27.90
And that means that
we should love them, too.
00:43:27.90\00:43:32.14
Doesn't necessarily mean the
00:43:32.14\00:43:34.84
that we have to
promote what they do it.
00:43:34.84\00:43:38.81
And that's a
very big difference.
00:43:38.81\00:43:43.39
She says
00:43:43.39\00:43:44.72
love the centers
00:43:44.72\00:43:47.62
and he was
criticized for us shading
00:43:47.62\00:43:51.13
with various centers.
00:43:51.13\00:43:56.16
He came to rescue the centers,
00:43:56.16\00:44:00.44
the church as a
hospital for centers.
00:44:00.44\00:44:05.47
And we should always keep that
in mind. It doesn't mean that
00:44:05.47\00:44:09.18
we have to alter who we are.
00:44:09.18\00:44:12.65
That doesn't mean that we
have to redefine who we are.
00:44:12.65\00:44:17.02
You know,
00:44:17.02\00:44:18.42
when it comes to
00:44:18.42\00:44:20.76
transsexuals,
00:44:20.76\00:44:22.92
you know, I have a
lot of very contentious
00:44:22.92\00:44:27.36
sessions with Congress
00:44:27.36\00:44:29.90
when I was a secretary of
00:44:29.90\00:44:32.40
because he's
transgender. Women wanted to be
00:44:32.40\00:44:36.17
and the women shelters
00:44:36.17\00:44:38.77
and the women didn't want
them and the women shelters
00:44:38.77\00:44:43.24
because a lot of the women were
in women shelters because they
00:44:43.24\00:44:47.12
were having
trouble with abusive men.
00:44:47.12\00:44:50.39
So they were not that
happy one somebody showed up
00:44:50.39\00:44:54.39
who was obviously a man
00:44:54.39\00:44:57.83
and wanted to be with them.
00:44:57.83\00:45:00.90
And, you know, I said just that
00:45:00.90\00:45:04.47
maybe we should have
shelters for transgenders.
00:45:04.47\00:45:08.60
They don't want that.
They want to be with the women,
00:45:08.60\00:45:11.97
serious changes. And that I was
reading an article 2 weeks ago
00:45:11.97\00:45:18.95
about
00:45:18.95\00:45:21.45
cyclists, some
cyclists, women, cyclists
00:45:21.45\00:45:25.52
and a transgender
woman won first place.
00:45:25.52\00:45:30.43
The second and 3rd place
finishes who are real women.
00:45:30.43\00:45:35.40
I didn't want to
be on the trophy stage
00:45:35.40\00:45:38.63
with that person because
they felt that it was unfair
00:45:38.63\00:45:42.94
and it was unfair
00:45:42.94\00:45:45.34
because
00:45:45.34\00:45:46.71
men and women are different.
00:45:46.71\00:45:49.71
And it you know, it's funny
because some of the transgender
00:45:49.71\00:45:54.18
community gets upset with you.
00:45:54.18\00:45:57.12
If you say the
man can have a baby,
00:45:57.12\00:46:02.76
you know you're
being transphobic.
00:46:02.76\00:46:06.83
The less I check
00:46:06.83\00:46:08.73
men did not have
ovaries and uterus
00:46:08.73\00:46:12.53
or 2 X chromosomes.
00:46:12.53\00:46:15.17
And of course they can't have
babies. It's almost like we've
00:46:15.17\00:46:19.74
lost their minds.
00:46:19.74\00:46:22.51
I talked to a lot of
people from other countries
00:46:22.51\00:46:26.11
and that's the most
common question. I get asked
00:46:26.11\00:46:29.08
what happened to you guys? I
think we've gone off the deep
00:46:29.08\00:46:32.99
end.
00:46:32.99\00:46:34.46
I think we have
to a large extent.
00:46:34.46\00:46:38.93
But what does it require
00:46:38.93\00:46:43.26
not to fall into those traps?
00:46:43.26\00:46:46.80
The easy thing to
do is just to go along
00:46:46.80\00:46:50.24
with what
everybody else is doing
00:46:50.24\00:46:52.97
and saying the Bible says
we're supposed to be a peculiar
00:46:52.97\00:46:56.71
people.
00:46:56.71\00:46:58.01
And first, Peter, 2, 9,
00:46:58.01\00:47:02.45
that means you don't go along
with what everybody else is
00:47:02.45\00:47:07.06
doing
00:47:07.06\00:47:08.16
just in order to get
along. When Jesus said
00:47:08.16\00:47:12.16
if you follow me,
00:47:12.16\00:47:14.10
you can be persecuted
00:47:14.10\00:47:16.56
and you are
00:47:16.56\00:47:18.57
you're not going
to be of the world
00:47:18.57\00:47:22.54
and they don't
like people who are not
00:47:22.54\00:47:24.77
of the world,
00:47:24.77\00:47:26.31
but his the way. I
kind of look at it,
00:47:26.31\00:47:29.88
no matter what they do,
00:47:29.88\00:47:33.01
no matter what they call you,
00:47:33.01\00:47:35.45
no matter what
they try to do to you.
00:47:35.45\00:47:39.15
What is that
00:47:39.15\00:47:40.89
against a
backdrop of the turn to
00:47:40.89\00:47:45.36
and it's like a
flash in the pan.
00:47:45.36\00:47:49.36
We don't have to really concern
ourselves about that. We have
00:47:49.36\00:47:52.00
to concern ourselves. We're
being a part of the family of
00:47:52.00\00:47:55.74
CA.
00:47:55.74\00:47:57.41
And where do we get the courage
00:47:57.41\00:48:00.21
from him?
00:48:00.21\00:48:01.91
He is the source of
courage. You know, I remember
00:48:01.91\00:48:06.55
as a resident,
00:48:06.55\00:48:08.68
I was on call one evening
00:48:08.68\00:48:11.35
and that was it was a time
of a nurse surgical national
00:48:11.35\00:48:15.36
meeting. So all the attending
were out of town at the menie
00:48:15.36\00:48:19.06
except the one that been
left behind to take care of
00:48:19.06\00:48:21.53
emergencies.
00:48:21.53\00:48:23.60
And
00:48:23.60\00:48:25.13
a young man was brought in
to the emergency room who have
00:48:25.13\00:48:28.57
been severely
beaten with a baseball bat.
00:48:28.57\00:48:32.41
He was unconscious. His
brain was swelling that can scan
00:48:32.41\00:48:35.74
demonstrated hemorrhages
00:48:35.74\00:48:37.91
he was going to die
00:48:37.91\00:48:40.12
unless a dramatic
operation was done
00:48:40.12\00:48:43.15
and which you took out part
of the frontal lobe and part of
00:48:43.15\00:48:45.72
the temp probe of to
make space inside the skull.
00:48:45.72\00:48:50.16
So I called for that
ending because as a resident, I
00:48:50.16\00:48:54.56
couldn't to that
operation under way at that
00:48:54.56\00:48:58.20
and attending
00:48:58.20\00:48:59.83
couldn't reach the attending.
00:48:59.83\00:49:03.10
The nurses call for
the tending couldn't region
00:49:03.10\00:49:05.91
the paging operate. A car for
the tendon couldn't reach him.
00:49:05.91\00:49:10.25
I was left with a
horrendous decision.
00:49:10.25\00:49:14.45
It was illegal
00:49:14.45\00:49:15.98
for resident to take her son
to the operating room to do an
00:49:15.98\00:49:19.55
operation that
I'd never done before.
00:49:19.55\00:49:22.36
I've seen it but
never done one before
00:49:22.36\00:49:26.73
or
00:49:26.73\00:49:29.06
do the safe thing. Put him
in the intensive care unit,
00:49:29.06\00:49:31.93
intubate him, Kim steroids
and that nature take its course.
00:49:31.93\00:49:36.47
Why should I risk my career
00:49:36.47\00:49:39.94
and do something
00:49:39.94\00:49:41.94
that you can't
you're not supposed to do.
00:49:41.94\00:49:45.58
So I pray.
00:49:45.58\00:49:48.35
I said, Lord,
00:49:48.35\00:49:49.82
please give me the wisdom
00:49:49.82\00:49:52.95
to know what to do in this
case. And this is that prayer
00:49:52.95\00:49:56.42
was over. I instantly knew what
to do. I have to take them to
00:49:56.42\00:50:00.96
the operating room.
00:50:00.96\00:50:02.70
It wasn't about my
career was about his life
00:50:02.70\00:50:06.33
and everything came back to
me. I remember everything. It
00:50:06.33\00:50:09.74
worked out extremely well.
And today that young man as a
00:50:09.74\00:50:13.44
child psychologist or
very well, you know, that
00:50:13.44\00:50:18.25
I never got into any trouble.
In fact, I was praise for doing
00:50:22.08\00:50:26.76
the right thing
00:50:26.76\00:50:28.42
by the attending
when they got that.
00:50:28.42\00:50:34.03
That is really the key.
00:50:34.03\00:50:37.17
2
00:50:37.17\00:50:38.87
creating strength
not only in our church
00:50:38.87\00:50:42.84
but in our communities
00:50:42.84\00:50:45.34
and then our nation
00:50:45.34\00:50:47.74
being courageous,
00:50:47.74\00:50:49.91
being willing to step
out and do the things that
00:50:49.91\00:50:53.78
other people want to,
because they're afraid
00:50:53.78\00:50:56.79
that they're going to
be called a nasty name
00:50:56.79\00:50:59.65
or that they're
going to be canceled.
00:50:59.65\00:51:02.99
Guess what?
00:51:02.99\00:51:04.76
No one can can see you
00:51:04.76\00:51:07.36
if God doesn't want you cancel.
00:51:07.36\00:51:10.77
And we have to remember who's
really in charge makes all the
00:51:10.77\00:51:14.17
difference.
00:51:14.17\00:51:16.04
And that gave me
00:51:20.21\00:51:22.48
a lot of courage
throughout my whole career
00:51:22.48\00:51:25.51
to sometimes do things
that other people wouldn't do.
00:51:25.51\00:51:28.98
Just asking God for guidance.
Remember, there was a young
00:51:28.98\00:51:31.99
man.
00:51:31.99\00:51:33.09
He had a disease
called been hippel Lindau
00:51:33.09\00:51:36.79
and which you develop these
very vascular tumors in the
00:51:36.79\00:51:39.86
brain
00:51:39.86\00:51:41.36
and he developed one right
in the middle of his brain stem.
00:51:41.36\00:51:46.23
The brain stem is an area you
can't really operate on us like
00:51:46.23\00:51:49.40
a coaxial cable.
00:51:49.40\00:51:52.27
So none of the adult learners
surgeons with doing anything.
00:51:52.27\00:51:57.31
Well, unfortunately, for me,
00:51:57.31\00:52:00.58
it turns out that his wife
00:52:00.58\00:52:03.18
was a nurse on the
pediatric nurse or jury service.
00:52:03.18\00:52:07.99
So she had access to me.
00:52:07.99\00:52:12.19
It's just as you've got
to operate. The my husband,
00:52:12.19\00:52:15.36
I said, but I'm a pediatric
nurse surgeon. He's an adult.
00:52:15.36\00:52:19.97
She said when he
acts like a child.
00:52:19.97\00:52:22.80
>> Haha.
00:52:22.80\00:52:30.28
>> She just kept
after me and after me and
00:52:30.28\00:52:34.02
finally, I said, OK,
I'll go and talk to him.
00:52:34.02\00:52:37.99
And I went and I
spoke to him. I said, Craig,
00:52:37.99\00:52:43.32
you know,
00:52:43.32\00:52:45.89
if I take you to the operating
room and I operate on this
00:52:45.89\00:52:49.26
tumor,
00:52:49.26\00:52:51.47
there's at least a 50, 50
chance that you will die on the
00:52:51.47\00:52:55.27
table.
00:52:55.27\00:52:58.27
And he said, Doc,
00:52:58.27\00:53:00.84
if you don't operate on
me, there's 100% chance and I'm
00:53:00.84\00:53:04.35
going to die.
00:53:04.35\00:53:05.88
So I'll take the
50 to 50 odds any day.
00:53:05.88\00:53:10.69
And I talked to the operating
room is very complex. He'd
00:53:10.69\00:53:14.76
grown a lot of new blood
vessels down around the brain
00:53:14.76\00:53:17.73
stem.
00:53:17.73\00:53:20.03
But I found a way through them
under the microscope, made a
00:53:20.03\00:53:23.43
very tiny
incision in the brain stem
00:53:23.43\00:53:27.50
and put a little micro
probe into the brain stem
00:53:27.50\00:53:31.54
feeling toward the area where
I felt the tumor should be.
00:53:31.54\00:53:34.74
And I could feel a
little spends like give
00:53:34.74\00:53:39.15
I figured that was the capsule,
the tumor, Putin little micro
00:53:39.15\00:53:43.89
force up and grab the capsule
00:53:43.89\00:53:47.66
and start it, pulling it out
in freeing it up with another
00:53:47.66\00:53:51.13
small micro instrument
00:53:51.13\00:53:54.10
and then the evoked
potentials went flat.
00:53:54.10\00:53:57.33
The electrical signals in the
NFC, Joe, the set, I told you
00:53:57.33\00:54:02.27
you were going to kill him
00:54:02.27\00:54:04.57
than that.
00:54:04.57\00:54:07.01
And
00:54:07.01\00:54:09.08
but I just continue
to take the tumor out.
00:54:09.08\00:54:12.58
Finally got it all
out. Close them out.
00:54:12.58\00:54:16.28
He was a maximum life support.
00:54:16.28\00:54:19.15
I went back to the
intensive care unit,
00:54:19.15\00:54:23.76
Fieri
00:54:23.76\00:54:26.23
very religious and
the vigil as was his wife.
00:54:26.23\00:54:30.97
We've spent a lot of
time talking and praying
00:54:30.97\00:54:35.94
the next morning when I came in,
00:54:35.94\00:54:39.74
he had been extirpated. He was
sitting up in the bed telling
00:54:39.74\00:54:42.81
jokes. Haha,
00:54:42.81\00:54:46.85
what that case helped me realize
00:54:50.75\00:54:54.22
is that sometimes
00:54:54.22\00:54:56.89
you do things,
00:54:56.89\00:54:59.79
maybe the odd turn good.
00:54:59.79\00:55:02.50
But you recognize
00:55:02.50\00:55:04.60
that there's someone else in
charge that's greater than you
00:55:04.60\00:55:07.64
are.
00:55:07.64\00:55:08.90
That's really the key
00:55:08.90\00:55:11.54
when we look at all the things
that are going on right now in
00:55:15.14\00:55:19.08
our society and
sometimes we have a tendency
00:55:19.08\00:55:23.25
to maybe get a
little discouraged,
00:55:23.25\00:55:26.79
maybe think
00:55:26.79\00:55:28.46
what's the use
00:55:28.46\00:55:30.53
the finding was
use of resisting.
00:55:30.53\00:55:34.03
Here's what we
need to recognize.
00:55:34.03\00:55:37.13
We serve an awesome guy.
00:55:37.13\00:55:39.83
All powerful
00:55:39.83\00:55:41.64
and a loving. He loves
everybody. It doesn't matter
00:55:41.64\00:55:48.14
what use done or where
you came from. He loves you
00:55:48.14\00:55:53.15
and I'll tell you
how much God loves you.
00:55:53.15\00:55:58.39
You would be happy
00:55:58.39\00:56:00.69
living with him
for ever and haven't.
00:56:00.69\00:56:04.39
He will find a way to safety
00:56:04.39\00:56:07.96
if you would not be happy
if you don't like his rules,
00:56:07.96\00:56:14.27
he's not going to take you
there because he loves you too
00:56:14.27\00:56:16.74
much to torture you for ever by
having you in a place where you
00:56:16.74\00:56:20.01
wouldn't be happening.
00:56:20.01\00:56:22.28
So
00:56:22.28\00:56:23.65
you don't really have to
spend a whole lot of time for
00:56:23.65\00:56:26.28
reading.
00:56:26.28\00:56:28.48
You know, I used to do that
when I was a kid. I just think
00:56:28.48\00:56:31.95
anything you do the Lord's
gonna write that town so you
00:56:31.95\00:56:34.62
can be punished for, you know
what? You hear stuff like that.
00:56:34.62\00:56:38.53
That's not who God is.
00:56:38.53\00:56:40.93
He's a wonderful guy. And
when it comes to families,
00:56:40.93\00:56:45.73
the best thing we can ever do
00:56:45.73\00:56:49.17
as be part of the family of God
